Less than a month after tearing the ACL in her left knee, Jay senior point guard Julissa Garrett has been cleared by doctors to play in Friday’s Class 5A state semifinals.

Garrett, an Express-News Super Team selection last season, had missed all of Jay’s playoff run after suffering the injury on Feb. 3 with two games remaining in the regular season. She was averaging about 14 points.

Garrett said she hopes to log several minutes off the bench against Fort Bend Hightower in the state semis, set for 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Erwin Center in Austin.
